The new models, Ola Gig and Ola S1 Z, are aimed at providing affordable, efficient, and reliable transportation solutions for gig economy workers and cost-conscious consumers in India.

The Ola Gig is designed for gig workers involved in shorter trips. It offers a robust design, removable battery, and essential safety features. The scooter provides an impressive 112 km range on a single charge and a top speed of 25 km/h. Priced at ₹39,999 (ex-showroom), the Ola Gig is available for business-to-business (B2B) purchases and rentals. This model is perfect for delivery partners, quick-commerce agents, and logistics firms.

For gig workers who need to travel longer distances and carry heavier payloads, Ola Electric has introduced the Ola Gig+. This variant offers a top speed of 45 km/h and a range of 81 km with a single battery or 157 km with dual batteries. The Ola Gig+ is priced at ₹49,999 (ex-showroom) and is also available for B2B purchases and rentals.
